Has a band ever done the opposite of selling out

What I mean by this is
Has a group ever made really accessable music to get money and then they become more and more expieremental/inaccessible because they're actually doing what they want now that they have money.

the beatles duh

The Beatles did just that. The Who did that too.

Talk Talk

The Strokes.

Radiohead started being really pop rock

Danny Brown maybe

Talk Talk
Scott Walker

weezer did for one album, but then they sold out

nirvana did it kinda with nevermind and in utero

came here to say this.

...

Pavement were on the brink of hitting it big, then dropped wowee zowee, so kinda them

Bowie with the Berlin Trilogy

Death Grips

MGMT

point

That was more of a 'return to roots' album IMO. Kurt was dissatisfied with many things about Nevermind - he thought it ended up a bit too poppy and over-produced.

hahaha

On the real though, Ministry.

Dude FUCK ministry worst band ever

Katy Perry

>Kurt was dissatisfied with many things about Nevermind
nah, he loved it.

bieber

Death Grips sell out and un-sell out every other album

As a whole, yes, but there were things about it that ended up less than desirable for him.

What do you mean by that?

This happened a lot with 60's pop bands. The Beatles, The Who, The Beach Boys, even The Kinks and The Monkees to an extent.
Scott Walker also got popular in the 60s but went much farther in the weird direction than any of those bands and remained relevant for much longer.

he's really been giving back a lot to his fans and Chicago since he's blown up, its cool

He has always had a mix of pop and underground music. I guess old is much more accessible then AE but XXX is also less accessible than Old.

Fugazi

Vanilla Ice did in the mid-90s. Dude actually grew up pretty poor but ofc he completely sold out. Dude got dreads and started putting out hardcore rap for like a year, then he tried to kill himself and ran away from the spotlight afterwards.
